I make orecchiette pasta w/ sausage and broccoli rabe all the time...we love it. Was excited to try new twist. Was more omelette than frittata...pretty thin, and as the bottom was burning (low heat as instructed) before the top was anywhere near set I'd imagine a smaller pan is not an option for adding height. In the pasta dish chix broth, butter and parmesan cheese temper the bitterness of the broccoli rabe...those ingredients were sorely missed here.
